Well, suggestions of Rupert Grint and Emma Watson don't make me feel so crazy about my most outrageous spitballing of Jason Statham in the role.

More realistically, I think I more want to see some bold choice for #13 for sure but maybe #12 could be a stepping stone with someone a little less cute and cuddly than Tennant and Smith. I think that mold is becoming quite accepted though as the norm and might be hard to break.

CAD mocked the Statham-as-Doctor idea in one of the comic's rare funny strips. I've not seen Looper yet or read reviews, but based on the trailer it looked very much like what I think a high-octane action timey-wimey Doctor Who would be.

I wouldn't object to Statham as the Doctor.

For a more realistic choice, I'd like to see James Frain as the 12th Doctor.

Read my first post! I want Idris Elba to be doctor #12 too, I think it'd not be a too odvious choice, plus he's a dark character, and would apeal to the minorities.

That's absurd and a little insulting. Matt Smith is young but that doesn't mean that he necessarily appeals to young people, nor does he appeal to football players or any other group he happens to be a part of.

Actually wouldn't mind McFayden. He's anonymous-looking, which would help with the reversal from the Lonely God. I know this is childish, but I can't stand Paterson Joseph's name. I just keep thinking that it should be Joseph Paterson. I would not want to look at those credits.

I know this will never happen but I'd like to have an old man Doctor again, played by someone like Bill Nighy or Derek Jacobi.

Ah, the doctor getting teh same body as the Master? That will cause fanfic fan heads to explode.

How about having them regenerate near each other at the same time and they "mix". The resulting doctor is the doctor most of the time but sometimes...lets say..when he gets angry...the Master surfaces.

I have no idea how it works with actors pay...isn´t there some kind of minimum pay depending on how famous someone is? Of course he could always say "hey I really like this...I make you a good price"...?
